The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

"This is nonsense!"

Shen Guanghan, the commander of the 60th Division stationed at the North Station, Zhabei, and Jiangwan defense lines, received a report that the Volunteer Army had decided to go to battle. He patted the table on the spot and changed his face. Nan and Zhu Bin reprimanded their heads and faces!

For this group of volunteer soldiers, he can be said to love and hate. He cherishes the rare talents. There are not many people in the two hundred, and the vast majority of them can read and write. They have high awareness, enthusiasm and sacrifice. After a long period of military training, it can be said that in addition to lack of actual combat experience, the basic quality is higher than that of the regular army.

What annoyed him was that this small unit had been not very peaceful since its establishment, and the deputy captain Zhu Bin was the leader. Some astonishing moves.Just like these days, their crazily consuming (in his opinion, a waste of) ammunition training, the intensive gunfire and occasional explosions have troubled the garrison of the 156th Division not far away.If it wasn't for this team not being under his direct control, he would have asked people to disarm them and merge them into his own army to save people from worrying!

It's just that this kind of idea is just thinking about it, not to mention that many of the supporters behind it are dignitaries and tycoons who can't afford to offend. Mrs. Song's personal condolences and praises, and numerous reports from all walks of life in Shanghai have regarded this team as a representative of millions of Shanghai citizens fighting against the aggression of the violent Japanese. It looks very cramped.

As a result, their actions became more and more free and indulgent. This time they took the initiative to fight, Zhang Junsong, the head of the 156th brigade stationed in Dachang, could not persuade them. Qiu Qiuxing, as a representative, even took the initiative to persuade them. !

Master Shen really didn't pay much attention to them in his heart, but he was worried that these stunned youths rushed to the battlefield with enthusiasm for a while. Not only would they not be able to achieve results, but they would hinder the deployment of defenses, which is a headache!

Therefore, he rushed over in a hurry, stopped the team, and trained them immediately.But for his harsh words, the Volunteer Army did not take it seriously.Captain Wang Pingnan was the first to stand out and said sternly: "Mr. Shen's criticism is not acceptable to us. Everyone is responsible for defending the country and resisting the Japanese! Although our volunteer army is small, we do not lack the determination to shed blood and die for the country! When the Japanese army When the situation of heavy reinforcements is at stake, how can we hide behind others and shrink back?"

At this time, Captain Wang was dressed in military uniform, wearing a custom-made canvas vest and carrying equipment like everyone else, with a Mauser 10-round bridge clip box gun stuck in his waist, and a 50-round drum gun in his hand. m1921 Thompson, with a German m17 helmet on his head, majestic and murderous!

Such attire made Shen Guanghan pause first, then turned his head to look at the whole team, his expression changed: "Is this still the volunteer army who couldn't get enough to eat, and most of them ran away as soon as they heard the gunshot? How does it look like?" More decent than our regular army?!"

In the past ten days, the entire team has undergone radical changes. Not to mention the military quality, the equipment alone is very different.The American weapons brought by Zhu Bin completely replaced the previous sixty or so Hanyang-made guns. Each squad had at least four M1921 Thompson submachine guns. The density of firepower was unique in the Shanghai theater!In addition, everyone not only has brand new military uniforms, but also thick canvas bulletproof vests with titanium alloy plates inserted!

All in all, Zhu Bin spent a lot of money on protection!In order to ensure the safety of the Volunteer Army soldiers as much as possible, he did not hesitate to cut apart the titanium alloy plates carried in the container, so that everyone has a bullet-proof insert plate assembled with 5mm thick titanium alloy blocks, which is enough for the Japanese army on the low-end battlefield. Shooting of mm and 6.5mm caliber bullets!

The inside information of such equipment made the soldiers full of confidence. Without such defensive capabilities, Zhu Bin would not dare to take people who have been intensively trained for more than ten days to the battlefield!

It's just that the matter of the body armor is a secret that must be strictly guarded. Even the people of the 156th Brigade only think that it is a reinforced steel plate that can protect against shell fragments and stray bullets, but they are still envious!

Shen Guanghan didn't know this, but he could see the spirit of the soldiers and their extraordinary equipment. Hearing what Wang Pingnan said, his face softened a little, but he still said displeasedly: "After all, you have short training days and have not passed the training. In the battle formation, the Japanese army is increasing its troops, so a sudden collision will inevitably cause too much damage, so it is not the best policy to lose precious strength. Besides, our army is strong enough now, and reinforcements have already been dispatched, so you should just familiarize yourself with the battlefield first.”

"Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your caring heart, but we have some different opinions." Zhu Bin, who was watching quietly, took up the conversation at the right time.

Shen Guanghan first looked him up and down, and his brows were slightly clustered to show some displeasure: "You are Zhu Hanchen?"

"My job is Zhu Bin." Zhu Bin could see that the other party's attitude was not very friendly, but he was still calm and calm.

Shen Guanghan really doesn't like Zhu Bin. In his opinion, he is a thorn in the side who likes to show off and love to show off his personal heroism. Even if there are so many people like this who are valued by others, they are not suitable to be a role model in the army. It is not easy to unite the vast number of mediocre soldiers.This time the Volunteer Army's attack may be largely instigated by him.It's a pity that this kid can't be beaten or scolded, and he is not directly under him, so troublesome!

"What do you think is different? Soldiers take obedience to orders as their bounden duty, and at this critical time, they must know how to keep their duties." Shen Guanghan almost directly reprimanded him for disobeying orders and ignoring his superiors.In the army, there is no room for haggling.

Zhu Bin heard that he deliberately replaced "we" with "you". What he meant was self-evident, but he didn't care about his displeasure. He said eloquently: "Mr. We were able to repel the Japanese attack every time and crush their military plots, but every time we dealt with it passively, and the initiative to initiate and end the battle was always in the hands of the Japanese army. Just like now, the Japanese army is in Zhabei, North Standing on the front line and feigning movement, the main force is covering its ninth division to land as soon as possible, and preparing for the next wave of more violent attacks step by step. If this continues, even if our army has a large number of people and is fighting on the ground, it will eventually be dragged down by it Strategically, it is already at a great disadvantage to us! We believe that we should take the initiative to attack appropriately, contain and break the established formation of the Japanese army, pull the two sides into the same rhythm, and seize the initiative!"

"Hiss! I can't see that this kid has some skills!" Shen Guanghan was secretly surprised. How did he come up with such a strategic matter like a sea turtle volunteer?Most importantly, what he said was very reliable!Also very true to my own thoughts and ideas!

In fact, Shen Guanghan has thought about and done similar actions a long time ago.On February 2th, when the Japanese army concentrated its forces to storm the Songhu Fort and Yunzaobang, the 9th Division secretly detoured from the Jiangwan line to Zhabei to launch a surprise attack, which caught the Japanese Marine Corps by surprise and almost collapsed. The commander Yoshisaburo Nomura urgently It was only by dispatching people and horses to rescue in cars that the right wing was stabilized and prevented from being wiped out.

However, there is only so much that can be done.Shen Guanghan snorted coldly and said: "How could we not know to take the initiative to seize the right to lead the battle? But you have to know that our army lacks air cover, ground artillery fire is far inferior to the Japanese army, and our armaments are weaker than the enemy's. It is okay to defend according to the fortifications. The active attack force is far from enough. Apart from increasing casualties, it is of limited use!"

Zhu Bin nodded with a smile: "What Master Shen said is very true. With the current strength of our army, it is indeed more than enough to defend, and it is difficult to make progress. However, our volunteer army may fill this gap, and as a surprise soldier, it may surprise the Japanese army. some favorable changes."

"You?" Shen Guanghan laughed, with a dismissive expression on his face.

Liu Yingshi, the chief of staff who followed him, shook his head and said: "Although you have good intentions, the strength of two mere companies is of little use when the two sides are fighting with an army of [-]. You should go back and don't delay Shen. Master, your time is precious. This is an order."

Such a firm tone and attitude made Wang Pingnan dissatisfied, and he wanted to choke to refute.Zhu Bin tugged at him, and smiled at Liu Yingshi: "Although we are a volunteer army, we know how to abide by military orders. But you see, we have already arrived here, so we can't make this trip in vain? Can we let our soldiers get close to the battlefield to experience it for ourselves? Let’s take a look at the real situation? It’s time for actual training! Listening to the sound of guns and guns will be of great benefit to their rapid growth.”

This request is not too much. Besides, both sides are preparing for the battle these days. There are not too many major battles. Shen Guanghan hesitated for a moment, and nodded slowly: "This is not impossible. But I have something to say first, you can't do it anymore." It is non-negotiable to act rashly alone." He was really afraid that this guy would show up to single out the Japanese army again, and it would not be good if there were too many things!

"Obey!" Zhu Bin stood up and saluted solemnly.Under the suggestion of his eyes, Wang Pingnan saluted reluctantly and agreed.

Shen Guanghan nodded, and asked Liu Yingshi to arrange for the garrison here to contact him. He paid attention to watching Zhu Bin so that he would not make any more mistakes, and hurried back to the headquarters.

Under the strict "care" and escort of the garrison of the 60th Division, the Volunteer Army arrived at the position near Song's Park. When they looked up, they could see the ruined battlefield and the looming Japanese camp in the distance.

Wang Pingnan was anxious, so he took time to drag Zhu Bin and asked, "Don't we really just take a look and go back? This is not our original intention!"

Zhu Bin laughed and said, "Captain, don't worry, since we've already arrived, how can we just leave empty-handed? We'll wait until night before we can act."

Wang Pingnan was overjoyed, and then hesitantly said: "But, we have already promised Mr. Shen not to act with fans, isn't this inappropriate?"

Zhu Bin said: "Didn't you pay attention? He said 'I' is not allowed to act without authorization, not our whole team!"

"You...!" Wang Pingnan pointed at him in surprise, speechless for a while!This guy dares to fool Master Shen!
